wo ru-ba-ru hon to ye kaif-e-iztirab na ho
vo rū-ba-rū hoñ to ye kaif-e-iztirāb na ho
ḳhudā kare nigah-e-shauq kāmyāb na ho
savāl kyā ho ki un kī ḳhamosh nazroñ meñ
na de sake jo vo ab tak vahī javāb na ho
ye kyā gumāñ hai ki vaqt-e-sahar kī bedārī
jo raat biit chukī hai usī kā ḳhvāb na ho
ye inhitāt-e-junūñ ye ḳhirad kī sust-ravī
kahīñ ye ḳhāmushī az-qabl-e-inqalāb na ho
kahīñ junūñ meñ ye merā kamāl-e-hosh-o-ḳhirad
tirī nigāh-e-taġhāful kā pech-o-tāb na ho
junūn-e-ġham hai mirā parda-e-hijāb se duur
ki lā-javāb tirā husn-e-lā-javāb na ho
sunā hai vo ruḳh-e-zebā naqāb meñ hai 'sahāb'
kahīñ ye hasti-e-mauhūm hī naqāb na ho
wo ru-ba-ru hon to ye kaif-e-iztirab na ho
KHuda kare nigah-e-shauq kaamyab na ho
sawal kya ho ki un ki KHamosh nazron mein
na de sake jo wo ab tak wahi jawab na ho
ye kya guman hai ki waqt-e-sahar ki bedari
jo raat bit chuki hai usi ka KHwab na ho
ye inhitat-e-junun ye KHirad ki sust-rawi
kahin ye KHamushi az-qabl-e-inqalab na ho
kahin junun mein ye mera kamal-e-hosh-o-KHirad
teri nigah-e-taghaful ka pech-o-tab na ho
junun-e-gham hai mera parda-e-hijab se dur
ki la-jawab tera husn-e-la-jawab na ho
suna hai wo ruKH-e-zeba naqab mein hai 'sahab'
kahin ye hasti-e-mauhum hi naqab na ho
